Iodoacetone
« on: January 30, 2006, 03:17:17 PM »
This is a product of an organic chem lab experiment I'll be doing and I was wondering if anyone knew anything about iodoacetone, it's properties or anything. I couldn't find anything on the web.

Check the MSDS boxes on the bottom left of the forum. ;)

Try searching for 1-iodo-2-propanone instead. Cas nr: 3019-04-3

Well, apparently there's nothing for this compound. I thought some people may have done this experiment before and observed this.

Please, draw the structure of iodoacetone.

It would be fair to assume it might be a lachrymator, due to its similarity to chloroacetones, I once vented a mix of hot acetone, in various stages of chlorination, over my garage, atempting to synthesise monochloroacetone, it overheated and flash boiled, vaporising quite a bit of it, I think I broke my record for shortest time to find and put on my gas mask that day ;D

Iodoacetone will probably be a lot less volatile, due to higher atomic weight of iodine over Cl2, but still, count on having a full-face mask ready if you intend on working with it.

Yeah, it's supposed to be a lachrymator. That's the warning. is it a liquid, solid? That's kinda what I was curious about. It's structure should be the same as a chloroacetone. It's made by reacting iodine with acetone under acidic conditions.
